About
Nowhere To Be Found

Nowhere To Be Found began 3 years ago under the name “Insch”, with the members Tiago Duarte (guitar and vocals), Manel Gomes (bass) and Miguel Rodrigues (drums). In 2014 the friends would assume an innocent start: the goal was solely making music together and sharing the emotions of their long lasting high school friendship. From their rehearsing studio in Ericeira (known for its world-class surf breaks) one can hear the waves crashing. Take the waves; mix it with well-known alternative metal groups like Deftones, Bring Me The Horizon and Architects and you get NTBF ́s unique sound.
